5 in the State of New York, have in@ ented a new and useful improvement '11 Valves, of which the following is a full and exact speciih cation.

-The invention will serve in all cases it is required to vary the amount of opening for two liquids or two gcses-cs, for 6Xit111- ple, the admission of air and. combustible gas to supply 2. fire; but I h. vs in my experiments worked mainly with water, the difference being simply in the temperature, and I will. describe it as thus used. The name bath-valve may he applied to it brevity. It is capable oigiving an area of a er'ture for each supply of hold or to vary t erefrom to any required extent, even to making the entire delivery one kind alone.

It may also serve usefully, by properly varying the area of opening, to give equal quanti- -ties when the pressures are unequal. All is 2 5 efl'ected by a single shaft and a. single lever or wheel thereon. I em 10y a separately-termed valve for each di erent fluid, grlnding or otherwise it giving them such difference of form th'st the equal endwi'se movement 1 give to each produces a great variety of conditions and in sures their certainty.

I have devised a means of uniting the ps1 ts by grooves of T-shaped crosssections and corresponding buttons to engage them. This fastening is strong. and reliable and gives nnusual facilities for separating anal reassemblin when required.

The following is a description of what I consider the best means of carrying out the invention.

The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a central section on the line 1 l. in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line 2 2 in Fig. 1. In each some of the parts are presented fully in elevation and plan, respectively. Fig. 3 is a section of a portion on the line 3 3 in Fig. 2. Fig. a shows a detail detached. It is in elevation, being a view at right angles to the view in Fig.1. Fig.5isacorresponding view, crtly l in vertical section. The section is on t -e line .5 5'5 in Fig. 4. Figs. 6, 7, and 8 are correting each tightly and easily to its sent and j verticsl sections, partly in elevasenting three POSitlOIlS of the same s. "i is shows, with the view in l, tour drlierent conditions of the mechmn isni. ll shows the conditions when the is entirely closed. Fig. 6 shows the corn d itionsi hen the stem has loesn. partly turned. 'lihis cold water clone. Fig. 7 shows the conditions. when the stern has been for l 31' turned. This gives both cold and hot water. e shows the conditions when the stem been turned as fer as it will go. lhis gives hot waterslone. Fig. 9 is on smaller scale. it shows s.mod,ificationa horizontal section corresponding to Fig. 2

Similar letters end marks of reference indicate like parts in all the figures where they appear.

l have shown two valves, whi 11 are formed as separate parts and fitted in separate seats, operated with the axial motion sometimes designated "puppet. Both are operated by 9. single operating device and are always raised and lowered alike, but with a diilerent effect in one valve from that in the other. There may he more than two; but a description of two, as shown, will suffice for all.

A is the casing or body of the valve.

is a manipulating device or handle turnmg a stem B, which is guariiled by a stuffinghox, as usual. This stein carries a screwtln'eadcd pert of large diameter, which ongages with internal screw-threads A in the upper portion of the casing. The under side of B has at radial groove of T-section, which receives s button or heeded pivotal projec tion D in the cc :ter of the upper face of a yoke D. The under side of this yoke is radially grooved, so to provide means for engaging the buttons of eecentrically-placed valvedislas-one a valve-disk G, having guiding-wings G and a. cylinder G at the lower end of the wings, and the other e valve-disk H, having guiding-Wings H and a cylinder H at the top of its wings. ll will for brevity sometimes use the letters. (3- and H to indicate the whole of the respective valves. Each is locked to the yoke by its button, (see Fig. 4,) so that it is raised and lowered therewith.

I will designste by A the horizontal partition in which the valve-seats are formed, and by A the upright partition. which separates the receivingchanibers.

In the position shown in Fig. l neither valve allows the water to pass it. The difwith a deck or horizontal plate having six the valve with the manipulating device or handle uppermost and have referred to the parts as correspondingly placed; but the valve can be Worked horizontally or vari ously inclined. There may obviously be two or any other number of outlets. I have indicated four wings for each valve G and H. The number may be varied. It is only essential that the construction be open-work to allow the Water or other fluid to flow as described.

Fig. 9 shows one of the forms in which the invention can be carried out With more than two separate inductions and a corresponding number of valves. T have shown provisions for siX inductions. "Thecasing is provided finished apertures, with the space below divided by six' tight partitions. It will be understood that each aperture has a corresponding valvepart puppet and part piston---and that there is a circular (yoke above with which each valve is engage I The pistons in the sex'eral valves vary in distance from their respective heads-the puppet portions-and as all are raised and depressed alike theseveral valves contribute each its respective supply to the mixture in different ratios as the ma nipulatiru device or handle is turned.

Parts oithe invention may be used Without the whole. The screw-threaded part B rnabe omitted and other means adopted for ereie footing the rapid raising and lowering and the reliable holding of the yoke and of the valves.

.1 claim as my invention.

A valve-casing having a chambered portion divided into receiving-charnbers and a discharge-chamber, the former located on 0pposite sides of a wall common ,to both and provided with adjacently-placed outlets in the decks thereof and the latter located at the side of the said receiving-chambers with which it communicates through said outlets, and also having an internally-threaded por tion of suflicient diameter inside to surround said outlets threaded nearly to the plane of said decks, in combination with a screw which engages said threaded portion, a yoke which is connected by button and groove with said screw and whose length is less than the diameter of said screw, and winged puppet and piston valves in said outlets, which valves are eccentrically placed within the peripherical limits of said screw and are connected by button and groove with said yoke, substantially as described.
